How to Look Cute in a Business Suit!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

All of us business students have the hopes of one day strutting into the office looking like a sexy business babe in our suits.  However, many of us end up looking like questionable men.  Whoever decided that girls should wear the same thing as guys was obviously delusional, but unfortunately the norm will not be changed anytime soon.  Believe it or not, there are actually some ways to spice up your business suit in order to look cute but still appropriate.      

1.  Accessorize!

We all know everything looks better with a chunky necklace or a pair of big (ish) earrings.  By adding accessories to your suit you bring out the feminine-fun side of your personality and make your outfit much more playful while still being business appropriate. 

 

 

2.  Get rid of the pants

Some girls look hot in business pants, but some of us cant quite find the right fit.  If you are having this problem, get rid of the pants all together.  Business skirts and dresses are another fun way to bring out your femine side when looking to be business formal or casual. 

 

3.  DO NOT show too much skin

…this goes for both cleavage and legs.  A lot of girls think in order to look more femine they need to show more skin but that could not be further from the truth.  In fact, when dressing in business clothes that are too revealing you are actually worse off than looking like a man.  Heres a helpful hint: if you would wear it to a club with your friends, you shouldn’t wear it in a business setting.   

 

NO!

 

4.  Switch out the flats for heels

Come on ladies we all know everyone looks better in heels.  They are a cute way to dress up an outfit and will ussually make you feel more confident in your suit.  However, if you know you cant walk in shoes, then please don’t wear them.  There is nothing worse than watching a girl struggle to walk in heels.
